A living dispatch of the American reindustrialization movement. A job board for the 200 companies reshoring manufacturing, defense, aerospace, and hard-tech, and a record of the people and ideas rebuilding the industrial base. I designed it, wrote it, and built the machine that keeps it current.
American prosperity is downstream of what we can physically build. The people bringing that back deserved one front page and one hiring floor, not forty scattered career portals.
A gravity well: a job board mirrored from the source companies, a roster of the people behind them, an atlas of every reshoring org, and a daily dispatch. Postgres holds the record; scrapers and research agents keep it current.
Engineers, founders, policy hands, welders, machinists, optimists, patriots. Anyone who believes we still build great things here.
Roles at the 200 companies reshoring American manufacturing: aerospace, defense, semiconductors, energy, shipbuilding, robotics. Scraped from the source on a schedule, deduplicated, and rendered with care. Employers can buy a 30-day listing or a promoted slot.
Dossiers on the people building the new industrial base, and the voices in Washington and the press making it possible. Profiles are researched by AI agents, reviewed in the admin desk, and watched for personnel moves.
Filter by category: semiconductors, aerospace, defense, energy, robotics, materials, shipbuilding, nuclear, machine tools. Filter by stage, from public to unfunded. Each organization carries its dossier, its open roles, and its pin on the map.
A rolling front page of the movement, filed under four classifications: Breaking, Dispatch, Field Report, and Signal. Pulled from the wire, from X, and from community tips, then triaged into a briefing every morning.
“We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.”— John F. Kennedy, 1962
App Router with server components so every page ships as real HTML. Tailwind for the system, Prisma for the data layer.
Roster, organizations, jobs, news, milestones, launches, media, and movements all live in the database behind an admin desk. Nothing editorial requires a deploy.
The public site and its Postgres run on Railway. Every push to the default branch ships. First-party analytics through a proxied PostHog endpoint.
Job scrapes, the morning intel refresh, roster movement scans, and model refreshes run as launchd jobs. Each one is an HTTP trigger into the production service, so the worker never touches the database directly.
Company dossiers, roster profiles, movement detection, and category tagging are done by Claude sub-agents with web search, batched to structured JSON and reviewed before publishing.
A companion Chrome extension adds a button to every post on X. One click files the tweet into the dispatch queue through the ingest API, alongside RSS, Hacker News, and Google News feeds.
Employers buy a 30-day job listing or a promoted slot. One Stripe account across my companies, with products tagged by source so webhooks never cross wires.
Navy, Old Glory red, ivory, gold, and ink. Fraunces for headlines and pull quotes, Inter for body, JetBrains Mono for stats only. A topographic contour motif at three percent opacity behind everything.
The scraping, roster, and intel machinery started life powering my AGI documentary portal. NationalWorks re-themed it from declassified monospace to an editorial broadsheet and pointed it at the industrial base.
“The mountains are calling and I must go” and on the way back, the foundries, the fabs, and the shipyards too.
